City Colleges of Chicago chancellor will retire

AP:
The chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago says he plans to retire at the end of the academic year.

Wayne Watson was appointed chancellor of the system of 7 community colleges in 1998.

Among the achievements in his tenure were faculty seminars for teachers to improve their skills and Project Align, a program in which local universities work with Chicago Public Schools students. Watson also oversaw vocational training programs for students in health care, the culinary field and construction.

The 62-year-old Watson says the past decade has been challenging and rewarding.
